I'm glad you did ♥

Hey guys !!! What's up?
Sammy invited me to jump on the Hogwarts express for a stop or two. And now I get it ! My Jaime is on boaaaaard !!!! Hello my precious...
Sorry if I'm being weird, I've been missing this daily deliciousness. Maybe I should come lurking around the wizarding world more often. :p

Yes, please do. I'd be curious to see what you think of them if you decide to carry on with the series.

I tried to read it a long time ago and ended up not finishing it. The book was just bleh. I hated the characters and I didn't care about the plot. Since then I watched the tv show, which I ADORE !! I've read a few reviews of the book and everyone agrees to say the first book is not that great, but that the next two books are really worth it. I'm thinking about giving it a second chance, but at the same time I don't want to go through the first book again...

and (and some more)

These both definitions include Russia (European part), Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova.

The first one also includes Romania..."

Thank you Rina. That is very helpful ! ☺
Does anyone know which of the two definitions is recommended for this challenge?

great job team !!

Sorry you lost your job. I'm in the same situation as you. At the end of the month I'll get to experience the joy of jobhunting again... I hate this.
But you have a new adventure to look forward to! Moving to Norway with you boyfriend! Sounds exciting!! I wish you good luck in your new life !!!

I'm currently in reading both Lord of Shadows and The Ten Thousand Doors of January. Cassandra Clare is still Cassandra Clare, so I love it. As for the Ten Thousand Doors, it's a bit slow so far, a little hard to get into, but I love the writing style.

Thank you guys.

I managed to finish a book today, it helped me keep my mind of things. I read Tormentor Mine by Anna Zaires. Let me tell you, it deserves to be shelved as crazy, but somehow I liked it. Weird...

I was planning to get some reading in at work today but nopee, not a chance."

Thank you Christina

thank you Louise. I appreciate it.

So my first day of the challenge is not going well. I came back from work two hours ago to learn that one of my cats had been run over by a car... I'm so mad and sad... I'm not going to be able to read much this weekend I think.. :'(

I'll have to try the Black Jewels series as well one of these days

I adore this series !!! I thought it was such a unique for an Urban Fantasy

Less than 12h to wait before the start of the challenge !!!

I'm trying to finish up the books I already started. I'm reading Rook by JC Andrijeski. And it's not... good.... I found it in a secondhand bookshop, along with 5 more books in the series. It sounded interesting and it was cheap. I feel like I lost a bet, lol.

What are you finishing up before the start of the challenge?

Welcome Jeremy !
